I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

In the last 2 months I was receiving a lot of deals in my email account and I received a "great deal" from a small wholesaler; 2 hours later the same property address showed up in an email from one of the "big wholesale companies" 10k dollars more expensive... the property was gone even before I could call the small wholesaler.I believe both are useful and all of us need to make a living, so I understand their role in this business.

@Jerry Zigounakisi'd pick a market close to you, or one you have strong ties in, rather than trying to get to one via math.can you invest where you live, or 1-2 hours from where you live, or where you like to vacation, or where you went to college, or where you plan to move someday?

I renovated the home while 3 of my friends lived with me and paid my mortgage.

If not, you’ll need to resolve these liens, which could complicate the investment.Current Occupants: The family living in the property could be protected under Massachusetts’ tenant and housing laws.

In the unlikely event that you are the exception that proves the rule, the rare 18 year old who can actually generate a serious income by wholesaling real estate, your day to day will look like the following: - You will door knock, cold call, send mailers, and otherwise create lists of people who are in the most desperate moments of their lives. 

Quote from @Eric Gerakos: My wife and I buy many “fractional” notes where we live in California.

I currently live in Michigan. 

I am interested in buying a long-term turnkey property in a nice area (I live in San Diego so this property would have to be out of state).

Quote from @Isadore Nelson: I recently acquired a property with an existing tenant who has been living there for about four years.
